I'm still not over the person who compared large language models to be the same as someone owning and using a wheelchair, as a means of accessibility for writing code. Pushing a wheelchair in one meter does not consume one gallon of gas. Using a wheelchair does not require vacuuming up the internet just so it can give you a misspelling of the word strawberry.

Well, I thought #OggCamp2024 was great. Thanks in particular to the team and crew for making it happen, and thanks to the community for keeping the spirit of #OggCamp alive, and sharing it again this weekend. My blog is a good way to keep up with what I’m up to, and has links to other places you can find me online between now and OggCamp.Next. https://andypiper.co.uk

wp shows that the world would be so much duller if successful people could just to go therapy and chill counting their stacks or something. smh what a clusterfuck. I don't like wordpress as a tech stack all that much, but... i really admire wordpress for how it democratizes access to self-hosting and allowed so many people and businesses to own their online presence. Sad to see it take such a hit, and hopefully it'll recover.

Lol I'd say something about the Wordpress thing but Occam's razor dictates that there's really nothing to add that hasn't been said. This makes me want to pour over @ntnsndr@social.coop's book on governance sooner than later. I'm highly skeptical of unaccountable hierarchical organizations (so much so I'm willing to threaten my stability over it) and this is why. Power corrupts.

On the topic of joining a #union and the collective bargaining port we as workers should work towards at #OggCamp2024, I'd also recommend discussing your salary with your colleagues!
It doesn't have to be as public as my /salary page, but it's hugely useful to do and helps work out inequity

Really enjoyed #oggcamp2024. It's great that a conference based entirely around Open Source software and Freedom exists. Open source may have a reputation of being just for nerds, but it's about *so much more* than just tinkering with code. You don't need to be a coder to benefit. When things are open source any bad behaviour (i.e. tracking, telemetry, privacy violations) hiding in our software has nowhere to hide. This becomes more important as we become increasingly reliant on our devices.

I'm missing my late Mum especially today. It's the first anniversary of her death, and to remember her we went to one of her favourite places: Westonbirt Arboretum. I was very happy when my Aunt (Mum's twin sister) agreed to join my wife & I for the day; her love of trees parallels my Mum's, so we enjoyed a long afternoon of walking through the glorious forests, and in particular the Acer glade.

When somone says something like "our competitor isn't contributing to our open source project", there's an implied assumption that anyone *can* show up and contribute changes that are meaningful to them but against the interests of the project owners (and their commercial backers). That's just not how it works. Despite that, submitting occasional PR's that have no chance of getting merged is probably the best way to expose that bullshit if/when it comes to that.

Parul's talk was incredible - her humour and reflection on her experiences of life as a neurodiverse person, through the lense of "what if neurotypicals were the weird ones" was really quite powerful.
I spent the talk very eagerly nodding along and laughing - a little distractedly - at her incredibly relatable take on the role reversal, and bangers like "Norman received feedback [that his colleagues felt weird about him because] he couldn't fidget".
I'm biased as someone who is neurodiverse myself, so related much more heavily to the talk, but feel that non-neurodiverse people in the audience could also understand the parallels.
I was very strongly reminded - in a great way - of Rachel Morgan-Trimmer's talk from OggCamp 2019 which was also a really powerful insight into life as a neurodiverse person, and I really enjoyed Parul's empathy-driven talk.
I especially loved the ending call to action, asking us all to consider what steps we could take to understand others in our life better.
My only complaint was that I wish the talk was recorded!
(I unfortunately missed the first few minutes)

Suspect a large part of the future will be "AIsbestos Removal". Asbestos was a wonder material which was going to revolutionise the world. Only then we discovered just how carcinogenic it was. And now, every day, we have to gently unpick it from the urban environment. How many companies will belatedly discover that a load-bearing process is actually riddled with AI? Then they'll have to pay to carefully remove it without any further environmental damage. Hence AIsbestos.
